A Note from Tiaga Prem

I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude to each of you for your support and your willingness to explore my unique approach to the practice of Hatha Yoga through the lens of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga and the development of the Tattvas Yoga Studies method. Over the past year, it has meant so much to witness your growth, dedication, and curiosity in the Shala. Teaching here and seeing you evolve in your practice has truly been a gift.

Recently, new developments in my professional work have come to light, and I feel called to step fully into this next chapter. Alongside my yoga teaching, I’ve taken on more responsibilities as a basketball coach—accepting a Co-Director role at an all-girls basketball club and stepping into a new opportunity to coach high school girls’ basketball this fall. These commitments mean that I no longer have the time to hold space in the Mysore room daily for three hours each morning.

I will be teaching a handful of Mysore mornings through August, and then, beginning in September, I will retire from the early morning Mysore room. That said, I am excited to continue offering Tattvas Yoga Studies classes at AYVic and to share in the Shala whenever possible. Stay tuned for some new offerings, a Saturday 2-hour practice followed by a long and nourishing Yoga Nidra meditation.

Thank you for welcoming me so warmly to Victoria and for allowing me to be part of your practice journey. I am truly grateful for this community, and I look forward to seeing you on the mat soon.

With love and gratitude,
Tiaga Prem

Full Moon Drum Journey: Follow the Rhythm Home
Drum & River: The Nidra Path with Naomi Kennedy
Saturday, August 9th | Ashtanga Yoga Victoria
9-1030am

For this Full Moon in August, you’re invited to step into sacred space and follow the rhythm back to yourself. Drum & River: The Nidra Path is not simply a meditation—it’s a soul journey. A call home to the breath, to the body, and to the quiet truth that lives inside.

Guided by Naomi Kennedy of Dream Waters Wellness, this evening offers a deep and immersive drum journey designed to help you access your inner knowing, clear energetic blocks, and receive guidance for your life’s path.

Through rhythm, visualization, and reflection, Naomi leads a ceremonial experience where participants are supported to:

🌿 Connect with their inner wisdom
🔮 Receive intuitive insight for life’s transitions
🌕 Align with their higher path
🌀 Calm the nervous system with rhythmic immersion
đź–¤ Meet the spirit of their drum or rhythm ally
✍️ Integrate the journey with journaling and circle sharing

Let the drum call you. Let your soul respond.
Join us on the Full Moon for an evening of sacred rhythm, reflection, and remembering.

Under the light of the Full Moon, we invite you to slow down, soften, and listen deeply.

Join sound practitioner and somatic educator Charlie Gates (they/them) for a Somatic Sound Ritual—a 75-minute sound bath journey through embodied listening, sound meditation, and dreamy states of rest. This Full Moon offering is an opportunity to reconnect with your nervous system, release what no longer serves, and bathe in a field of sound and stillness.

The evening will include:
✨ Gentle movement to shake off tension and ground into the body
✨ Deep Listening meditations to expand inner awareness
✨ A closing sound bath with a blend of acoustic and electronic instrumentation, vocals, and sonic textures

This special event lands on the Full Moon, which holds particular significance in the Ashtanga tradition. In Ashtanga Yoga, Moon Days—both Full and New Moons—are days of rest. Because the moon influences the body’s internal tides (just as it does the ocean), Ashtangis traditionally refrain from practicing on these days to honor the natural rhythms of energy, exertion, and rest. Instead of physical practice, Moon Days become a space for reflection, integration, and softer rituals.

This Sound Bath is our way of honouring the lunar pause—a chance to be in community, in stillness, and in sound.

This event is open to everyone. No experience necessary.
Bring your mat! We invite you to come exactly as you are.
